"The unique thing about this is that all the parts came together from unconventional places. The tyre is specially manufactured in Pune. The suspension is from a motorcycle. The steering mechanism is from an ambassador car. These clamps were from a junkyard and we welded them together ourselves. The engine is taken from an auto rickshaw," one of the students said.
It's Indian science of a different sort, what we call 'jugaad', making do with what's available. Built as an all-terrain vehicle, it can master the worst Indian roads.
"We started work on this in March 2011. And we have already spent Rs 1.5 lakh on this. We attend classes in the morning and work on this at night. We have been eating, drinking and sleeping in the workshop for the past two months to complete this vehicle," a student said.
This February, the car heads to Indore to compete in a national race. The competition's tough. But the students aren't worried.
